Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Murrieta

As we walked in we could tell this restaurant was going to be amazing! The food was fantastic, tons of great specials, we enjoyed the tuna tartare and antipasto platter which I highly recommend. A few of us enjoyed the halibut, chicken parm, lasagna, eggplant, and more…all so good!

Food was great as usual. Shared the pate, which was very good. Plenty of pate, grilled whole grain bread, variety of fruits, pickled red onion, pickled green onion slices(first time having this-it was slightly sweet & tasty), & jam. For my entree,I ordered my usual Gorgonzola & Granny Smith apple with grilled chicken. MUCH better than my last visit. My only complaint last visit was the lone thin slice of apple. That’s correct. ONE slice of apple. Perhaps the kitchen supervisor was new(?). Anyway, the salad was great. My friend had the rare grilled tuna sandwich. VERY good. My last visit, my MIL had the same & was also very pleased with her choice. We will continue to be regular patrons. The food & service are great. The brief tour of the garden/nursery is a nice distraction from LA traffic & the hustle of city life.

Black Angus, Temecula, did an excellent job on Christmas Eve! We went there in remembrance of my mom. (It was her go to restaurant.) They sat us at a table in the open, but we wanted a booth since that was mom’s favorite. They were so sweet and accommodating even though they were busy. They cleared and cleaned a booth for us. The service and food were excellent!!

My family and I enjoyed our visit to Blue water Grill, Temecula,CA in celebrating my husband's birthday. We arrived early and decided to enjoy a pre dinner cocktail in the cozy bar area first. Great drinks and service! We were able to be seated promptly to the dining area to enjoy a wonderful dining experience. Waiter was prompt and accommodating. Overall a very pleasant experience. One of our favorite places!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere! Wonderful way to kick off the Holidays.
